Complex and other publications reported that rapper PeeWee Longway , real Quincy Williams, was among those arrested in connection with the operation. However, Vice notes that his name doesn’t appear on the press release of the indictment. So far, information about his charges and alleged involvement remains scarce.

A Two-Year Investigation Unveiled

The drug raid was part of a long-standing investigation that began two years ago under the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office, they explained in a press conference. The operation, “Sweet Silence,” sought to dismantle criminal street gangs and further disrupt large-scale drug trafficking in the Columbus area. According to Sheriff Greg Countryman, the Zohannons and Crips gangs were the primary focus of the bust, with authorities determined to cut off their control over local drug markets. Furthermore, Countryman emphasized that this is just the beginning, stating, “Our work is not done,” as the investigation is expected to result in more arrests.

Massive Law Enforcement Presence

Early Thursday morning, over 250 agents, including seven FBI SWAT teams, descended on Columbus in a coordinated effort to take down high-profile targets. The sheer scale of the operation highlights the severity of the drug problem plaguing the city. However, suspects considered armed and dangerous were apprehended. Authorities believed this marked a major victory in the fight against violent crime in the area. Moreover, local law enforcement worked alongside federal partners to ensure that the operation was properly executed.

Over $280 Million in Drugs & Firearms Seized

The bust led to the seizure of a staggering $280 million worth of drugs, firearms, and cash. Authorities revealed the extensive haul during a press conference, providing a detailed breakdown of the items seized:

  • 155 firearms  
  • $273,433 in U.S. currency  
  • 496 pounds of methamphetamine (valued at $22.4 million)  
  • 57.21 kilos of cocaine (valued at $5.7 million)  
  • 7.1 kilos of fentanyl (valued at $707,273)  
  • 55,248 pounds of marijuana (valued at $250 million)  
  • 1.3 kilos of heroin (valued at $130,859)  
  • 5.9 pounds of GHB (valued at $267,152)  
  • 755.8 grams of mushrooms (valued at $15,116)

A significant portion of the marijuana was reportedly sourced from illegal grow operations in California, which authorities believe illustrates the broad reach of the drug network.

Fake News Surrounding PeeWee Longway’s Health

Interestingly, just days before his arrest, rumors circulated online that Longway was hospitalized due to a drug overdose, following the death of fellow rapper Rich Homie Quan from a suspected overdose. The false reports were quickly debunked when Longway took to Instagram to confirm he was in good health. However, these events coincided with his involvement in the drug bust, further complicating the narrative around his recent activities. “I’m great and very prayed up and [too] healthy to be in the hospital,” he wrote on his Instagram Story, per AllHipHop.

Peewee Longway Is Not The First Famous Auto Theft Victim

Carjackings are on the rise in Atlanta. There has been an increase of 47% in auto theft in 2022 compared to the previous year. Police have warned people to not leave their car while it is still running, even for a split second. Always turn it off and take the car keys with you. If Longway had followed that advice, he might have not had his truck stolen from him. Peewee Longway should not feel too bad. Plenty of other celebrities had also been victims of auto theft. For example, in 2021 Ludacris also had his car stolen when he left it running for a moment to go to the ATM. That vehicle was quickly recovered by the police in a parking deck.

There is also Akon’s car theft, also in Atlanta in 2021. He was pumping gas into the car when somebody just went in and drove off. It was able to be recovered due to Akon leaving his phone inside, which could be tracked by the police. More recently, in Los Angeles, Snoop Dogg’s son, Cordell Broadus, also had his car stolen and recovered by the police. That vehicle was recovered through a tracking company that was hired. A source had revealed that somebody had left the keys inside of the vehicle, making the initial theft very easy. We will keep you updated as the story unfolds.
